Robert Davis
Hello Pride Band Folks!
We are so excited to welcome you to our (new - thanks snowmageddon) first rehearsal for the Spring 2026 Concert tomorrow, Tuesday, February 2nd! We are so excited about the programs planned for both the Concert Band and Wind Ensemble, and we can't wait to get started with you all. Please see below for reminders and rehearsal plans for this week. We will send a similar email ahead of each rehearsal, so keep an eye out and be sure to stay up to date with the latest plans and updates!
First Rehearsal Notes
Rehearsal is at The Harmony Center (4411 Tamarack Blvd, Columbus, OH 43229)
Enter through the southwest entrance.
Please plan to arrive a little early if at all possible. Returning members are especially encouraged to help with setting up chairs, stands, and percussion equipment.
When you arrive, you will check-in at the registration table.
Your section leader will give you your folder and assist with finding a seat.
Our plan is to read as much of our fall repertoire as possible. We will also introduce Columbus Pride Bands Leadership and start introducing new members.
